How do we help students understand the nature of a Biblical to-evah (taboo) and how it influences our thinking about homosexuality?
With the newest Hot Topics article and lesson plan, students will explore the nature of the Leviticus 18:22 text (which is often cited as a proof text for exclusion of homosexuals in religious communities,) and compare it to other to-evah in the Bible, and to our contemporary understanding of a taboo.
Students will be able to:
- Think broadly about how LGBTQ people are treated in our communities.
- Understand the term to-evah and explore what this means for our understanding of the Biblical treatment of homosexuality.
Guide your students to make their own decisons on equality today by downloading this Hot Topics recourse here.
